The 2021 festival may be over, but there’s still plenty to keep us occupied here at Litfest HQ! And there are still lots of ways you can get involved.
One of our most exciting projects is The Litfest Big Read, our flagship project for Litfest 2021. In our opening weekend we were thrilled to be joined by A.M. Dassu and Matt Haig, whose books Boy, Everywhere and The Midnight Library were the chosen books for the Big Read. You can watch their Litfest events (and the rest of the 2021 festival) on our Youtube channel — all events will be online for 30 days after their initial broadcast.
As part of the Litfest Big Read, we are encouraging people of all ages to sign up to read one of the two books, so that we can all share the experience of reading as a community whilst physically distanced. Although the festival has passed, you’re still welcome to sign up, and be in with a chance of winning a free pass to three Litfest events in the next 12 months and your choice of three paperback books.
As part of the Litfest Big Read, we’d also love to see you over at the #LitfestBigBookShare and #LitfestBigPostcardShare tags on social media:
- Join The Litfest Big Book Share (for 11-15 year-olds) and send us a creative interpretation of your favourite book on any social media platform #TheLitfestBigBookShare
- Join The Litfest Big Postcard Share (for 15+ year-olds) and send us a postcard telling us about your favourite book. You can send your postcard to the Litfest office, or take a photo and post it on social media #TheLitfestBigPostcardShare
So don’t hang about — sign up, get involved and help us share the Litfest love across Lancashire and beyond!
